Relating to a metrical foot or line used in classical Greek poetry, specifically the pattern popularized by the poet Glycon.
From Glycon (ancient Greek poet) + -ian (suffix meaning 'of or relating to'). This is a variant form of 'glyconean' used in prosody.
The glyconian meter is so mathematically satisfying that ancient poets kept using it—it's literally the rhythm of ancient pop music, and scholars still analyze its patterns to understand how ancient people experienced language.
